Lexus RX

The Lexus RX is a luxury mid-sized SUV which has been on sale in the UK since 2000 and today rivals the likes of the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE and Land Rover Range Rover Sport.

Here in the UK the RX arrived with just one 3-litre petrol engine mated to a four-wheel drive transmission and was more commonly known as the RX 300.

It was a huge success worldwide and sold over 370,000 units in its five years on the market, becoming the best-selling Lexus model shortly after its introduction. 

The second-generation model was launched early 2003 and featured a sleeker design and a revised version of the 3.0-litre V6 engine which now came with a five-speed automatic transmission.
